Targeted at high‑performance and industrial applications, the device offers 564 I/Os, an industrial operating range of −40 °C to 100 °C, and a 1152‑FBGA (35 × 35 mm) FCBGA package with surface‑mount assembly, enabling integration into bandwidth‑intensive and robust systems.

Key Features

• Core Density  228,000 logic elements provide the fabric to implement large-scale logic, control tasks, and custom accelerators.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 17.5 Mbits of on‑chip RAM to support buffering, FIFOs, and local data storage for high‑throughput designs.
• I/O Resources  564 I/O pins for extensive peripheral, memory, and board‑level interfacing options.
• High‑Speed Transceiver Architecture  Built on the Stratix IV family with high‑speed transceiver features and provisions for highest aggregate data bandwidth and wide protocol support as described in the Stratix IV device handbook.
• DSP and FPGA Fabric  Device handbook references to Digital Signal Processing (DSP) blocks and rich FPGA fabric make this device suitable for signal processing and protocol handling tasks.
• Power Supply  Nominal core voltage range of 870 mV to 930 mV to match system power domains and regulator designs.
• Package & Mounting  1152‑FBGA (35×35) FCBGA package, surface‑mount mounting type for standard PCB assembly processes.
• Industrial Temperature & Compliance  Industrial grade device rated for −40 °C to 100 °C and RoHS compliant for regulatory and environmental considerations.

Typical Applications

• Data Communications & Networking  Use the Stratix IV transceiver architecture and high logic density to implement packet processing, protocol bridging, and line‑rate acceleration functions.
• High‑Performance Signal Processing  Leverage the device fabric and DSP capabilities with substantial on‑chip RAM to implement filtering, encoding/decoding, and real‑time signal chains.
• Memory Controllers & Storage Interfaces  564 I/Os and explicit support for external memory interfaces enable implementation of memory controllers and interface bridging between storage subsystems.
• Industrial Control & Automation  Industrial temperature rating and robust I/O count suit motion control, sensor aggregation, and embedded control platforms operating in demanding environments.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Capacity: 228,000 logic elements allow integration of complex state machines, custom accelerators, and large control fabrics on a single device.
• Substantial On‑Chip Memory: Approximately 17.5 Mbits of embedded memory reduces dependency on external RAM for many buffering and intermediate storage needs.
• Extensive I/O Availability: 564 I/Os provide the flexibility to connect multiple peripherals, wide data buses, and external memory devices without excessive multiplexing.
• Architecture Optimized for Bandwidth: Stratix IV transceiver features and handbook‑documented high aggregate bandwidth support make the device suitable for throughput‑focused designs.
• Industrial‑Grade Operation: Rated for −40 °C to 100 °C and specified as industrial grade for deployment in temperature‑sensitive or rugged applications.
• Standard FCBGA Packaging and RoHS Compliance: 1152‑FBGA (35×35) packaging and RoHS compliance simplify BOM planning and regulatory alignment.
